Hatred Virus: A Different Ending

Love

Jack's POV:
"... then AJ grabbed a metal pipe and smacked you in the head. I mean, she must have hit you hard, you've been knocked out for a while." RoPo just glared at me in awe and confusion, I guess I'm not the best in explaining things.

"Long story short: I was a .EXE again and I was knocked to my senses?"

"Yup, basically."

"Well, now you know. Though, I can't remember why I turned into a .EXE, it's a blur."

"That ain't promising," I said slightly worried, "When you remember, you'll tell me?"

"Like I leave a secret from my best friend," he said smiling. I was smiling back, we had our friendship bond together.

"Umm, if you're done, can I ask you something?" Asked Dawn who was standing to the side.

"What is it?" Asked RoPo.

"Welp, did you somehow managed to hurt Antivort by any chance?"

"In my dreams, why?" Dawn pulled back her hair from her left side and we both gasped. There was a birthmark of a bullet on her lower cheek.

"This is why, I forgot to mention that no matter what you do to Antivort, I feel the same pain."

"Can't you heal yourself?" I asked concern. Dawn shook her head in disappointment.

"I cannot heal myself, I can only heal others."

"How'd you get that? You weren't in my dreams."

"I have a magical connection with Antivort, even though she can heal herself, I can't. Though being a spirit, I still can bleed and be hurt by others. I'm not punishing you; you've wouldn't have known. I'm just saying be careful, alright."

"Got it. So, there others are with Cap in the infirmary?"

"Yup!"

"Good," RoPo said in a low tone voice. He sounded relieved, don't know why. I got up to drop the first aid kit back, during that time, RoPo laid back down on his right side.

"What are you doing?"

"Getting some z's, I'm tired."

"Oh."

"I'll be here to look out for him, Jack."

"Thanks Dawn, I need to check on Cap anyway." Dawn pulled up a chair and sat by the force field. Before walking out, I heard RoPo snoring. He always snores.

Alex's POV:
Cap was doing better, his condition is exponentially better. Thanks to his incredible regeneration cells, his wounds are healing quickly. The doctor left a few hours ago saying that Cap will be back on his feet very soon.

"At least we stopped that rampage, right?" Asked Ashlyn with pride.

"Yeah, we still need to be careful," said Cap as he sat upright, "I may have a feeling as to why he snapped."

"What's that?" Asked Angel with her arms crossed.

"He may have snapped because he yelled at Dawn, RoPo must have felt guilty that his .EXE self was able to take over."

"Interesting theory, it could have the necessary consequences for him to snapped. That's how Angel was before."

"Alex! Why do you need to bring that up?!"

"See what I mean."

"Shut up you asshole!"

"Woah, woah, watch your language, AJ. No need for that stuff here," said Jack as he entered in the room.

"How's RoPo?" Asked Ashlyn as she walked over to him.

"Well, at the moment, he's sleeping. Dawn stayed with him to make sure nothing happens to him."

"Dawn huh?"

"Yeah, why did you say it like that, Cap?"

"It's nothing, I just figured that she may have... feelings for him." We all stared at Cap, at the beginning what he said was outrageous, until we put the pieces together. It made sense, she is always with him, helping him, never leaves his side. She even worries a lot for him.

"Another interesting theory Cap," I said.

"Anyway, I brought what I could find of his mental health." Jack gave Cap a folder filled with papers of information.

"Clinical depression, schizophrenia and PTSD?!"

"Yup, that's what I found out after he calmed down."

"He's suffering like hell, Jack! We need to be by his side as much as possible." Cap's plan was to give RoPo any attention, this was very reminiscent to what Angel goes through. Both have similar issues.

Dawn's POV:
I tried to learn more about the others, I want to know that I can trust them. I could just look through their memories, but I find that rude. It's hard to concentrate because RoPo is snoring loudly. But, I don't want to do much; if I wake him up, he won't get the necessary sleep he needs. I flew over to him and turned him back down. He snored a little less, I looked at his arm. It was burned badly.

"Oh no, don't worry RoPo, I'll heal this." I used a bit of my magic to heal him. His arm was slowly getting better with the magic coursing through this body. His arm soon got better and he soon woke up as well. I now know why he was sleeping, to get rid of the pain.

"Huh, woah! My arm?!"

"I healed it, you looked like you were in pain, I just wanted to do a favor for you."

"Thanks, it's feels so much better. Where's Jack?"

"I believe he went to see if Cap's doing better. I stayed to make sure nothing else happened to you."

"Why are you so nice?"

"It's my personality, being rude doesn't make me feel good."

"Even after I've been so mean to you, you still trust me and help me?"

"I cannot leave a friend here in pain. It's the least I can do." RoPo gave me a bright smile, I smiled back.

"It's that the first time I've seen you smiling?"

"Welp, I believe so."

"Why are you blushing?"

"W-what? B-blushing?"

"Why... oh..."

"What?"

"You like me don't you?"

"Umm, as a friend yes." RoPo gave me a small smirk.

"It's more than that, I know it." I put my head down in shame. I feel warm inside, my heart is thumping very fast.

"It's only a friendship between us, it's nothing more that t-," I began to cry after I said that. I knew why, but deep down, I don't want to show it.
